The door slammed shut.

Baili Pangpang stood on the ground full of banknotes, stunned.

After an unknown amount of time, he pointed at the door and said in disbelief: "Is he crazy? He said that I was using counterfeit money? How could it be counterfeit money?!"

Shen Qingzhu frowned tightly, he bent down, picked up a piece of money from the ground, and examined it carefully for a moment.

“It’s true.”

"Of course it's true!"

"But the expression of the villager just now didn't seem fake. When he heard the number of 50,000 yuan, he was really tempted." Cao Yuan frowned and thought.

Shen Qingzhu picked up the money on the ground one by one and stuffed it into Baili Pangpang's hand. He turned around and squinted at the ancient fishing village shrouded in darkness, and slowly said: "There is no problem with the money. The problem is... this village."

"What do you mean?" Baili Pangpang asked puzzledly.

"I noticed something was wrong when the first family opened the door." Shen Qingzhu said calmly, "The calendar hanging on the wall of that family was from fifty years ago."

Baili Pangpang was stunned, frowned and thought carefully for a moment, but there was no impression of the calendar in his mind at all.

"A calendar from fifty years ago?" Cao Yuan asked in surprise, "Could it be that it was hung up wrong?"

"No, that calendar is too new. It doesn't look like a paper product from fifty years ago. Instead, it looks like something that was just produced not long ago." Shen Qingzhu said firmly, "And the shoes and oil lamps in the houses behind are not from this era. They are very old, and most of them have been discontinued. You can't buy them even if you want to.

At first I thought it was just a coincidence, or that this place was too backward. If the man hadn’t just told me that these were fake coins, I might not have realized this problem.”

Among the three people present, no one can compare to Shen Qingzhu in terms of ability to observe details. At this moment, when Shen Qingzhu said that there was something wrong with these things, Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan naturally would not doubt it.

"You mean... we traveled through time?" Baili Pangpang followed Shen Qingzhu's meaning and asked tentatively.

"I don't know, this is just a possibility." Shen Qingzhu said with a serious expression, "Qiye is right, this place... is very wrong."

…

The night deepens.

The lights in the fishing village gradually went out, and the villages on the coastline fell into complete darkness.

The waves washed the shore, causing the small boat parked nearby to sway slightly. Under the dim moonlight, the waves were snow-white and rolled to Lin Qiye's feet like broken silver.

He walked alone along the waves in the middle of the night.

At this moment, he had taken off the hat, and the darkness around him automatically condensed and transformed into a human-shaped shadow following behind him. A red eye opened on the shadow's forehead.

"How is it?" Lin Qiye asked, looking at the dark horizon in the distance.

"Dean, I still can't see anything." Hei Tong said helplessly.

"We've almost crossed the entire fishing village, and still nothing?"

"No."

"……strangeness."

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, attached his black pupils to his own shadow, slightly bent his body, and stimulated his whole body of mental power. He turned into a sliver of night and quickly crossed the coastline, rushing away into the distance.

The environment in his eyes was rapidly receding. The hazy moonlight sprinkled on the coastline and gradually dimmed as he moved forward at full speed.

Suddenly, the moon in the sky flashed, as if it went out for a moment, and everything around Lin Qiye fell into absolute darkness.

Afterwards, Lin Qiye's vision returned to normal.

He stopped abruptly.

The sound of the waves echoed in his ears. He stared blankly at the dark fishing village that appeared out of nowhere in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.

How is this possible?

He was clearly running in the opposite direction, so why did he come back here?

Lin Qiye looked back at the road he had come from. It was deep and mysterious. Even though the moonlight covered the earth, it was still as dark as a black hole that swallowed everything. Not even light could escape.

Lin Qiye frowned tightly, turned his head and crashed into the darkness. The moon in the sky went out again for a moment, and the next moment he was standing on the edge of the coastline in the opposite direction...

The two ends of the coastline seemed to be connected by some mysterious force. Once Lin Qiye wanted to leave from one end, he would be forced to return to the fishing village from the other end, like an endless ghost wall.

Lin Qiye looked at the fishing village in the darkness in the distance. He stretched out his hand in disbelief and pressed in the air. Endless clouds rolled under his feet, turning into a somersault cloud that lifted his body and flew up into the sky!

The speed of the somersault cloud was much faster than his own speed. He could easily fly over a small fishing village without even the time to blink.

However, no matter how he drove the somersault cloud or at what angle he tried to fly over the fishing village, he would inexplicably circle back to the original place.

The most important thing was that his mental perception did not detect any abnormality at all. There were no fluctuations in the forbidden ruins, no traces of forbidden objects, everything was so reasonable and natural, as if it should be this way.

Even if he used [Zhan Bai] to escape into the void, he could not leave the range of this fishing village.

After trying dozens of times, Lin Qiye flew back to the coastline in silence, waved his hand to disperse the somersault cloud, and his expression became more solemn than ever before.

They were trapped in this fishing village.

I don’t know who left this method here, nor do I know the principle of this strange phenomenon. I don’t know how to get out. Lin Qiye stood by the coastline, staring at the dark village in the distance, feeling a little creepy.

The unknown is more terrifying than the absolute gap in strength.

Lin Qiye took out his cell phone, but there was no signal at all. He sighed and put it back in his pocket.

He calmed himself down and began to think seriously.

Since they had to leave this village in the short term, the most urgent thing was to find out the details here first, at least to know what they were facing now, and at the same time search for the traces of the [Masked] team. Since they came here earlier than them, they might have left some clues...

Moreover, before he entered the village, he had already sent the location to the Night Watch headquarters. If they really encountered a situation that they could not handle, as long as they tried their best to delay time, Zuo Qing would definitely send people to support them.

I just don't know what's going on with Jia Lan and Pang Pang. Since there hasn't been any major noise so far, it means they are not in danger for the time being and everything is still under control...

At least that's what it seems on the surface.
